Huge congratulations to this lovely lot for passing Level 1 today! Hard earned and well deserved!🥇
We have teamed up with the wonderful Esther to bring more fun activities to Cork City!
All sessions must be booked in advance, check our website (link in bio)!
Contact me directly or drop a comment below if you have questions.😊🐾
Beautiful initiative from Chris.❤️
Check out Canines of Cork for more details.
Ok so this is what I’ve come up with. You all know I’m a massive bully breed fan and I feel if there is one thing I can do then it’s to showcase these dogs in a way that people and media don’t get to see them - as loving, playful, goofy, and not aggressive.
This will happen on Friday next week, July 26, at the Glen River Park.
This is what you’ll need to know:
- the sessions are free to book, you only pay for the photos
- your dog will need to know some basics like to sit, down, and stay, otherwise it just won’t work.
- your dog will need to have a recall
- I will take a mix of portraits, action shots, and candid photos with the humans
If you are looking for portraits only, this session won’t be for you, I wanna be honest upfront.
Any questions just shoot me a message and we can discuss.
Level 7 in the bag!🥳
Congratulations to these 2 great teams!

⭐️ VIP Coaching Sessions - June ⭐️
Here at Dogsercise, we believe that all dogs should be able to participate in fun dog sport activities, but we know that not all dogs are suited to group events!
Private coaching is great if you can’t or don’t want to join a group or you may wish to work on your handling specifically. We offer this option for Hoopers, Scent Detection, Mantrailing and Tricks! 👌🏼
Our private venue provides an ideal low distraction environment so you can fully focus on your dog and the guidance of our coach. 👌🏼
We recommend scheduling 1 lesson per week or every 2 weeks. All 4 lessons must be used within 3 months.
Book your sessions via our website now! Link in bio.
📚 Introducing one of Caroline's favourite reads: 'The Forever Dog' by Rodney Habib and Dr. Karen Shaw Becker.
Explore the secrets to helping your canine companion live a long, healthy life with this enlightening book!
Have you read 'The Forever Dog' yet? Feel free to share your thoughts below or tell us about your favourite book!
You asked, we deliver!
Many of you inquired about our Thriving Oldies Day Retreat for younger dogs, so TADAAAAA! We have changed it up a little to suit all age groups and give you our unique and wonderful Thriving Canines Day Retreat!🤩
Lots of gold nuggets to take home for you, a holistic approach to enrichment for your dog and an individual mini assessment to learn about their current physical state so you can be proactive and do something about it before it becomes a problem. We only take 4 dogs per retreat, so they get our full attention.
This retreat is not suitable for dogs who struggle with other dogs or humans! You can still book in as a spectator, learn tons and get access to our private facebook group and resources!
Join the waitlist for our next retreat! You’ll find it on our Schedule page.😉

What a day we had yesterday!! Sansa went to her first ever grooming appointment (at 9.5 years of age 🫣) with the lovely Sinéad @for_mutts_sake. She eased into it like a pro and you wouldn’t believe how fluffy she is now!! 🤩 In the afternoon we headed to Cork for our first ever TV appearance! I’m beyond proud of Sansa, who absolutely smashed it! Not phased by the environment at all, checking in with me for guidance and reassurance and responding to my requests like she’s doing this every day. Thanks to everyone @rtetoday for making us so comfortable and respecting our dogs and to @mauraderrane and @daithiose for all the great questions! I’m super thrilled that my wee man @hamish_thunderpaws got to show off Hoopers and did you spot Oscar @springer_mad_times_two jumping over the Flyball hurdles??? Watch the lot on @rteplayer and make sure to visit us on Sunday @ballymaloe_grainstore for Dogs Day Out! Sansa and I had dinner @marinamarketcork afterwards and her majesty slept peacefully in the car on the way home. Best girl ever!!❤️

This sport is incredibly enjoyable for dogs of all kinds. While these skills are widely employed by Search and Rescue teams worldwide, our focus is purely on the fun aspect. Join us for a canine adventure where your dog's remarkable sense of smell is put to the test as they track down the trail-layer. In Mantrailing, we teach dogs to locate a specific individual by following their unique scent trail.
My favorite shots from our Halloween Scent Adventures this weekend. What a fantastic time we had, it’s been so much fun having you all here!! Mischief managed.🪄
This was my evening! A beautiful sunset, some epic hunting of zombies 🧟 in the dark, watching the Starlink satellites above and a stunning moonlit calmness. What more would you want?! Thanks to our amazing teams who put in the effort of dressing up to play zombie! It’s so much fun to do this kind of stuff with you and your dogs were all fantastic!
We had an absolutely EPIC weekend! Mantrailing bonanza with 11 amazing teams who rocked all the challenges we set: Water crossings Entering a basement Working through undergrowth Road and bridge crossings Urban Split trails High finds Door indications and some upskilling for the humans on line handling, safety on the trails, roles and responsibilities and of course there were cakes and snacks! We’re already looking forward to the next one!🤩
